Numero Uno
First post. A little unsure of what to say without sounding trite. (and saying that may sound so... err... postmodern...)
I'm in the middle of the season of a show at the moment.

I'm playing the German Army General who yells a lot in a stupid accent... go figure... if you are in town come see it... I'll say zis only once...
I bought my first piece of art today... a work from a stencil exhibition run by a friend of mine... the piece is called THE SMOKING GUN by Per. I think it's very cool and hope to acquire more once I move to a larger place.
(please excuse the rather sad photo... taken on my mobile... but you get the idea...)
I'm also getting very excited about the upcoming vacation that I am taking soon.
Firstly, I'm heading to Auckland on the weekend of the 29th/30th of this month for the V 24 Hour Movie Marathon, a weekend full of cinema - premieres of new blockbusters balanced with a whole bunch of crazy explotation oddities from the 50s, 60s, 70s & 80s - which looks set to be a total blast. Two of the titles have already been confirmed - the Hollywood cult hit KISS KISS BANG BANG and a brand spanking new Aussie thriller that looks mighty creepy, WOLF CREEK.
I'm going to spend a few days in Auck following that (note to any friends up there, get in touch for a coffee, if I haven't already!!), and then I leave for Melbourne the following Thursday.
Five nights in Melbourne relaxing and enjoying the sights, the weekend of which I will be in attendance at GP Melbourne (a Magic The Gathering card-gaming event, for those of you not in the know...)
Then I return to work (and normalcy) on the 10th of November...
I'll try and post as many of my adventures here while I'm away.
I also hope to do an extensive review of the marathon (and all of the films therein) shortly thereafter.
Must go now before I link myself into oblivion...
